The Prescot School Subject Overview for
Science: Yr7 1 Course/Subject introduction
Throughout the year a series of units are delivered that will build on students’ knowledge from primary school and help them to develop their understanding of the
core fundamentals in Science. Students study one scientific discipline (Biology,
Chemistry or Physics) every half term so that they can fully immerse themselves in the
topic. There is a focus throughout every unit to build core knowledge and develop
scientific skills through practical work. As such every unit will have a Subject Knowledge
Organiser (SKO) and a required practical activity. Students are assessed on both an end
of unit assessment and on the required practical each half term.

scientific understanding. There is a focus throughout every unit to build core knowledge
and develop scientific skills through practical work. As such every unit will have a
Subject Knowledge Organiser (SKO) and a required practical activity. Students are
assessed on both an end of unit assessment and on the required practical each half
term.
